This morning I set aside my usual paint brushes and opted for a much smaller one to add a spring touch of pink to my little nails (Essie's Mod Square is too sweet for words). Let's face it, long nails and an avid DIYer just don't go together--not even for a wedding. Wedding bound, I […]

FÜD Feud 2012
Today was the second annual FÜD Feud and Chris's second time participating. In case you are thinking, "didn't we just do this?" We did. Last year's was in September and you can look back on our first experience with the local home-cooks culinary competition (Chris made some mean stuffed cucumbers) here. I'm not sure why they […]

It was over a month ago, when I repainted our divider railing between the dining room and family room a shiny oil-rubbed bronze. Without skipping a beat, I started on the large staircase and then I never finished it. Really. The bottom half (that required more cutting in) was still gray, and I brushed one […]

I know, I know, it's going to be a lot more thrilling to hear Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron say those words--I couldn't resist. You see, we have been getting by with this hand-me-down mirror from my parents since we got married 3 and a half years ago. It's gone from oak, to blue, to […]
